Maybe some of us don't want to have to scroll down through the entire post
400 times to read the relplies.

It's all the people who don't understand that top posting and cutting and
snipping screws up the legibility of the thread. People should take the
time
and trouble to read the whole thread so far, before just sticking in
their
two penn'orth and duplicating stuff that's already been said ... d;~}

Never-the-less, that is the posting convention on newsgroups, and not doing
so, as you suggest, results in people not seeing answers that have already
been posted, not properly following the thread, and wasting their own time,
and everyone elses, by reposting answers that have already been given.
